Kick Off: 13:45 Local (17:45 BST)
Brazil's draw with Sweden was especially controversial; Welsh referee Clive Thomas awarded Brazil a very late corner kick and Zico directly headed the kick into the net but Thomas blew for time before Zico made contact with the ball and the goal was disallowed.
The Brazilian players were not happy with the decision, but the final result remained a 1–1 draw.
